About
Alliance Video Productions LLC was formed in 1994 and we have filmed over 2,000 weddings.
Our mission has always been to create a masterpiece that you will cherish forever. We take the responsibility in producing your wedding video very seriously and have a lot of fun along the way. We have a very dedicated team of incredibly talented videographers, cinematographers, and editors (not all of which are pictured below).
We stay current with all the latest equipment and technology, so the final results will blow you away. We are passionate in helping you remember the best day of your life.
Most people reading this have never been married or hired a company to film their wedding day. I understand, we will take the stress out of your decision. When you request information, we will promptly get back to you and answer all of questions and help in this important step. If you don’t know all of the questions to ask, no worries, we will guide you. We’ll help make this process very enjoyable, promise!
When you call us, or possibly evaluate other video companies (and we suggest you do), may I suggest you ask these questions. I’m sure you will discover the difference.
- Who will be filming my wedding?
- How much experience do they have?
- Can I see their work?
- Will I only receive a highlight and the unedited footage, or is my wedding completely edited?
- How will you plan and prepare for our important day, so the video tells our unique story? (A lot of people can make videos; it’s understanding the importance of planning that makes the difference)
We would be glad to answer all of these questions and whatever else comes to mind. You deserve to know, and you deserve the best! We can take as much time, or as little, as you wish. We can meet in person, email or speak over the phone, whatever works best for you. You can find other answers to commonly asked questions on our FAQ page. After looking things over, contact us to get the ball rolling.

Tom Johnson
A little about Tom:
“Wow! What a fantastic experience we had with Alliance Video in the filming of our wedding. Tom went above and beyond to accomodate our needs both leading up to the wedding, the day of, and post-wedding. We had our video completed in a very reasonable amount of time and Tom was available to answer any questions along the way. The day of the event, we were so thrilled with his work that we asked him to stay a few more hours than originally planned! We cherish our wedding video and would recommend Alliance in a heartbeat.”
Patricia & Stephen (married on 9/28/19)
- I’d much rather make movies than watch them; ask my wife.
- It's not your aptitude, but your attitude that determines your altitude.
- I love song lyrics but consistently sing the wrong words, and you don’t want to hear me sing.
- I am a follower of Jesus, my Lord, and Savior. I'm nothing without Him.
- I was “born to run” my own business. I’ve been to more Bruce Springsteen concerts than any other musicians combined.
- I love creating memorable moments and seeing other people’s stories come alive.
- I believe in burning calories at the gym in the morning, so I can spend them on good food in the evening.
- I believe that it’s important to change before being forced to change. Change is not just good; it’s necessary. Change stimulates growth, and if you’re not growing, you’re dying.

- I love that first sip of hot coffee in the morning.
- I believe in making the most of every moment and making a difference.

- The greatest gifts in my life are my wife and kids.
A little about Zac:
“Zac and Alliance Video were phenomenal. We have already seen a sneak peek of their work and it blew us away. Zac was super professional and made sure to capture each moment of the day. The use of the drone also provided some breathtaking images. I highly recommend Alliance to anyone searching for a videographer. You will not be disappointed.”

- I do my best to maintain a positive attitude in everything I do; not taking anything for granted. Life is too short to not be grateful!
- I get a great feeling of satisfaction when helping others
- I love music and editing, it is a big part of what I do on a daily basis
- When watching movies or TV, I often think about ‘what I would do differently’ if I were editing it…
- I strongly value relationships with my family and friends, which is one of the most important things to me in the world.

TJ Johnson
A little about TJ
“We are so happy that we chose Alliance Video Productions to capture all of the moments of our special day! Tom was so easy-going and did an amazing job capturing our personalities as a couple. At our first consultation, Tom encouraged us to enter a giveaway for a drone, and to our surprise, we won! We had the opportunity to get flying lessons from Tom and TJ which was so much fun! TJ also flew a drone on our wedding day and we are very excited to see all of the "birds eye" shots he was able to get. Our biggest surprise was getting our wedding day highlight video while on our honeymoon - we cannot stop watching it! All of our friends and family have been constantly raving about how perfect it was and how it made them cry. It has only been a couple of weeks since the wedding day and we are really looking forward to watching the final video! We will surely cherish this video for years to come and we cannot thank Tom and TJ enough for all of their hard work. My husband and I 100% recommend hiring Alliance Video Productions for your wedding!”
